In such a situation, it is no surprise that many investors fail to get any shares allotted to them. This is why it is advisable to apply for IPO shares on the last day of bidding. This way, one can have a good estimate on how large the subscription will be. Also, in that case, one should bid for just one lot and not unnecessarily lock up their capital.

performance. - A significant portion of IPL sales are derived from the state of Kerala and any adverse developments in this market could adversely affect their business.
